What makes Ishmael important is not what it's "about" but rather what it DOES to you--and this is what you need to share with your friends. If it's taken you to a new place in your life (as many people say it has), then tell them that if they want to keep up with you, they're just going to have read it. Whatever it's done to you or for you, that's what will impress your friends, and that's what you need to convey to them.

Semester in the West is part of Whitman College's Environmental Studies Department. Whitman's program is multidisciplinary in organization, and local and regional in empirical emphasis. Students wrestle with the challenges, and come to understand the necessities of an interdisciplinary approach in the elucidation of environmental problems.
